Tree Service in Glenwood, AR
The crew Glenwood, Amity, and Lake Greeson homeowners have trusted for over two decades. Tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and same-day storm response — serving Glenwood and the Pike County area from our Arkadelphia base.
Glenwood's Go-To Tree Service for Over 24 Years
Plyler's Tree Service has been taking care of trees in Glenwood and the Caddo River valley for over two decades. We know the older homes along Highway 70 and Broadway, the wooded acreage out past Centerpoint, the riverfront lots down the Caddo, and the recreational properties around Lake Greeson and the Daisy State Park area. From in-town removals near downtown Glenwood to long-driveway jobs deep in Pike County, we've handled tree work across every part of this area.
Glenwood sits in the Ouachita foothills where the Caddo River meets the gateway to Lake Greeson and the Ouachita National Forest. That means big mature pines, dense hardwood canopy, and storms that hit hard when a system rolls down out of the mountains. When a tree comes down across Highway 70 at midnight or a dead pine leans toward your roof out near the Centerpoint school complex, you need somebody who knows the area. Our crew is based about 30 minutes south in Arkadelphia and runs jobs up Highway 8 to Glenwood multiple times a week — no trip fee, no travel charge.
We carry a perfect 5.0-star rating on Google with more than 70 reviews from homeowners across the area. Every estimate is free, every price is in writing before we start, and we clean up everything before we leave. That's how we've done it since day one.
What We Do in Glenwood
Every service a homeowner or property owner in Pike County could need — all from one local crew.
Tree Removal
Tall pines crowding a house off Highway 70, a dead oak leaning toward the barn out toward Rosboro, or a hardwood that's outgrown a Lake Greeson cabin lot — we bring them down safe and haul off every branch. Rural acreage, tight in-town lots, wooded lakefront and riverfront property — doesn't matter. We handle it.
More About Tree Removal →Tree Trimming
Limbs scraping the roof off Broadway, branches hanging over the driveway, canopy blocking sunlight from your yard — we trim them back the right way. No topping, no hacking. Just proper cuts that keep the tree healthy and your property safe.
More About Trimming →Stump Grinding
That stump you've been mowing around for three years? We grind it 6 to 8 inches below ground and fill the hole. Flat enough to grow grass over or plant something new. We do multiple stumps in one trip and save you money.
More About Stump Grinding →Emergency Storm Damage
When a storm rolls down out of the Ouachitas and drops a tree on your house, blocks Highway 70, or takes out a fence at 2 a.m., call us any time — nights, weekends, holidays. Our crew is just 30 minutes south in Arkadelphia and can be on the way fast.

Lake Greeson Cabin Lots and Pike County Recreational Properties
Glenwood is the gateway to some of the best recreational property in Arkansas. Lake Greeson, the Caddo River, and the southern edge of the Ouachita National Forest are all right here. The tree work on these properties takes specific gear and a specific approach — here's what that looks like.
🛥️ Lake Greeson Cabin Lots
The cabin lots around Lake Greeson — Self Creek, Kirby Landing, Daisy State Park area, the wooded shoreline running up toward Star of the West — have some of the trickiest tree work in our entire service area. Steep banks dropping down to the water, trees growing right up to the cabin and the dock, equipment access that's often just a one-lane gravel cut through the woods. We rope down sections rather than felling whole trees, we coordinate with the cabin owner on debris staging, and we don't drop anything into the lake.
🚣 Caddo River Property Work
The Caddo River runs right through Glenwood and continues up into the mountains. Riverfront and near-river properties grow a different tree mix than the surrounding uplands — bald cypress, water oak, sycamore, and willow oak that root in soil that stays wet. These trees show damage years after a flood event and they fail in surprising ways. We've seen it. We know what to look for, and we know how to handle the removal without compromising the riverbank or dropping debris into the water.
🌲 Daisy State Park and the National Forest Edge
Properties out toward Daisy State Park and the southern boundary of the Ouachita National Forest are in heavy timber country — mature shortleaf pine, dense hardwood, and rural acreage where storms do real damage when they roll down out of the mountains. Ice storms hit this area especially hard. We handle the storm-damaged section clearing, the dangerous lean removals after a system rolls through, and the long-haul rural work that property owners out this way actually need.
🏘️ Downtown Glenwood and Older In-Town Lots
The streets around downtown Glenwood — Broadway, Highway 70 through town, the residential areas off the main highways — have mature pecans, white oaks, and the kind of in-town pine that's been growing alongside the houses for 50+ years. Tight lots, close-set structures, power lines and outbuildings to work around. The work takes patience and the right approach, and we've been doing it long enough to know which old trees on which streets are next in line for attention.

Tree Service Questions — Glenwood
Answers to the things Glenwood homeowners ask us most.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property in Glenwood?
For trees on private residential property inside Glenwood city limits, you generally don't need a permit for removal. The only exceptions are trees in the public right-of-way along city streets or trees on properties that fall under specific easements. If you're not sure, Glenwood City Hall at (870) 356-3398 can answer questions about anything in the right-of-way. When you schedule your free estimate, we can also help you figure out whether anything applies to your situation. For rural properties outside city limits, no permit is required.
You're based in Arkadelphia — how fast can you get to Glenwood?
About 30 minutes. We take Highway 8 straight up and we're in Glenwood. Our crews are in the Pike County and Lake Greeson area multiple times a week for scheduled jobs, and for emergencies we can usually be on-site within an hour. There's no trip fee or travel charge — the price is based on the job, not the drive.
When is storm season worst around Glenwood, and do you handle emergency calls?
Pike County catches its heaviest storms from late March through early June, with another rough stretch in October and November. Ice storms hit hardest between December and February. Glenwood sits at the gateway to the Ouachita Mountains, and storms funnel down out of the high country and dump on the valley fast. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — nights, weekends, holidays. When a tree drops on your house in Glenwood, call us and we're on the way.
Do you work on Lake Greeson cabins and Caddo River properties around Glenwood?
All the time. A lot of the land around Glenwood is recreational acreage — cabin lots above Lake Greeson, wooded properties along the Caddo River, and rural builds backing up to the Ouachita National Forest. We handle long-driveway access, hazardous trees on steep slopes above the water, riverbank and lakeshore cleanup, and large hardwood removals where equipment access is tight. If a cabin lot is too narrow for a bucket truck or the slope is too steep for direct lifting, we use ropes and rigging to take trees apart piece by piece.
What types of trees do you deal with most in Glenwood?
Glenwood sits at the edge of the Ouachita National Forest, so pine and hardwood mix is heavy. Shortleaf and loblolly pines dominate the hillsides and rural lots — they grow tall, lean toward houses, and snap in ice storms. Post oak, white oak, and hickory fill in the older in-town properties and the river bottoms. Sweetgums show up on cleared land and along fence lines. Each species has its own issues. Pines drop limbs in wind and topple roots in saturated soil. Oaks get heavy and split at the crotch. Hickories hold dead branches that fall without warning. We've handled all of them across this area for over 24 years.
